The Vasak is a lightweight, stiff, technical and adaptable crampon, ideally suited for B2 and B3 rated boots (with or without welts). The Vasak is perfectly at home while mountaineering, featuring a little less weight and stiffness than it's bigger brother, the Sarken. The frame is slightly thinner and features the same exceptional design.
The front of the Crampon features horizontal points; these are far more secure and stable in snow and ice and will penetrate thick ice more easily. To limit the amount of snow build-up that amounts to the crampon, Petzl have encorporated their Antisnow system, included with the crampons, to shed snow when in use.
A brilliant feature of the Vasak is it's modular design; you can essentially pick and mix certain sections to your liking. The rear half of the Vasak stays the same and is standard across the Petzl range, while the front can be changed depending on what you're doing. This not only saves weight by not having to carry muliple crampons, but also saves a lot of money as you're only buying sections of the crampon rather than 3 more full sets of crampons.
Petzl's Leverlock Universal Bindings make it easier than ever to attach your crampon to any trekking/mountaineering boots with or without welts. Unlike many other crampons, the Vasak features two components (FIL and FIL FLEX) to allow you to use the crampon with any boot which has a B2 or B3 rating and is between size 36-50. 12 total points make the Vasak stable, secure and highly versatile for a range of environments.
